Hi,

for no annual fee credit card, there is $15 card replacement fee within Australia, does it mean card holder pay fee every time card replaced when expired?

Thanks

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your question.

The $15 card replacement fee is applicable when your card is lost in Australia. There will be no fee when your card is replaced or renewed due to account/card expiration.

Cheers,

May

What does it mean when a card has 0 days interest free?

Jacob Finder

April 29, 2013

Hi Sara,

Thanks for your question.

This means that you will get charged interest from the day you make a purchase on the card. Other cards have up to 55 days interest-free and some cards have an extended interest-free period when you activate the card.

Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Jacob
